Answer:
[tex]791.7\:\mathrm{ft^3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cylinder with radius [tex]r[/tex] and height [tex]h[/tex] is given by [tex]A_{cyl}=r^2h\pi[/tex].
By definition, all radii of a circle are exactly half of all diameters of the circle. Therefore, if the diameter of the circular base of the cylinder is 6 feet, the radius of it must be [tex]6\div 2=3\text{ feet}[/tex].
Now we can substitute [tex]r=3[/tex] and [tex]h=28[/tex] into our formula [tex]A_{cyl}=r^2h\pi[/tex]:
[tex]A=3^2\cdot 28\cdot \pi,\\A=9\cdot28\cdot \pi,\\A=791.681348705\approx \boxed{791.7\:\mathrm{ft^3}}[/tex]
